I have recently found cold-pressed organic hemp seed oil in my local Walmart (Carrington Frams brand). I have read that it (along with flax seed oil) is one of nature’s perfect healthy oils, with a near perfect balance of Omega 3 and Omega 6 oil and other needed amino acids. To get the daily needed balance, you would only have to consume 2-4 tsp. a day. A serving of my Ranch®-like dressing here has 3 tsp. (1 T.) per serving, so job done! I didn’t find the oil to have much flavor, slightly nutty, which reminded me of the taste of flax oil. I plan to keep it in the refrigerator to prevent its going rancid so fast ( as flax seed oil does). This will add yet another delicious, healthy oil to my arsenal of oils for salads. DO NOT HEAT/COOK with this oil as it loses a lot of nutrients if heated. This recipe is suitable for all Atkins phases, Keto diets, Primal and Paleo.
